GALLERIES-DOWNTOWN ELLEN GALLAGHER-Subdued, rather sombre ab- stractions à la Agnes Martin--or at least thafs the initial impres"ion one gets from these works by a young painter who was one of the few genuine surprises at last year's Whitney Biennial Closer inspection reveals something stranger gOIng on: waves of smiling thick- lipped mouths, cascades of eyeballs, ven the occasional schematic rendering of a woman's head or a forlorn elephant complicate the paint- ings' sensuous, fussed-over urfaces Through Feb. 24.

"EPITAPHS"-Death on the installment plan, the art-world way: some thirty works on the themes of mourning and morbidity, which add up to a rewarding group show Andy Warhol's "Self-Portrait with Skull" (1978) depicts a dour-looking artist with an oddly jaunty death's-head perched on his shoul- der like a parrot. The most amusing piece may be John Coplans' "Letter to My Son" (1995), which begins flatly "This letter is about the disposal of my body after my death. .." and continues, with hilariously detailed and persnickety instructions regard- ing his cremation and the scattering of his ashes, to its sardonic sign-off: "Good Luck!"

MARIO GIACOMELLI / JACQUES HENRI LARTIGUE (1894- 1986)-Giacomelli has an abiding love for the Adriatic coast and for the Old World domes- ticity that still thrives there This retrospec- tive--of rural landscapes and portraits, includ- ing an idyllic series of young seminarians at play in the snow-displays the depth of that love. / Panoramic views of upper-middle-class leisure pursuits of the twenties and thirties (motorcar racing and touring, golf), all demon- strating the artist's mercurial flair and his af- fection for the' 'art of the transient."

The work has none of the prurient glamour of Larry Clark's pic- tures-these kids are suffering. From a girl's tote bag, on exhibit in a glass case, tumble forth the relics of twisted youth: a flag show- ing Raggedy Ann and Andy fornicating, a Teddy bear on a noose.
